Setting up Wi-Fi connection

Establish the Wi-Fi connection between your Reach unit and your device.

1. Power up the unit and wait until it is loaded.

2. Look at the Network LED of the receiver to check the mode:

Hotspot mode

When Reach is in hotspot mode, it shares its own network. In this case, perform the following steps:

1. Open Wi-Fi settings of your device and turn on Wi-Fi.

2. Find a network with the name reach:XX:XX.

3. Type the password emlidreach to connect to this network.

4. Wait until it shows that you are successfully connected to the network.

Client mode

When Reach is in client mode, it is connected to the external Wi-Fi network. In this case, perform the following steps:

1. Open Wi-Fi settings of your device.

2. Connect it to the same Wi-Fi network.

3. Wait until it shows that you are successfully connected to the network.

When the Wi-FI connection is established, you can connect to your unit using Emlid Flow:

1. Open the Emlid Flow app.

2. Choose your unit from the list of available devices.
